2009 HR Derby Discussion & Transactions

Glad I wasn't the only person to pick Khalil. I'm hoping the pixie dust makes him a 30 HR guy

He doesn't pitch and therefore doesn't need the magic of one Dave Duncan. :wink:

I'm looking for the magic of Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwick

Not many were confident in Ludwick to do it again...

I think we've become pretty good at evaluating who's likely to have the pixie dust again and who isn't. I think most of us feel Ankiel will continue to be pretty good but Ludwick won't be nearly the same.

I was surprised we were the only two.

[JimSorgi]

I only picked Matt Wieters because I couldn't think of anyone else.

 

Really? There was plenty of time to do research... :confused:

Yeah, but I'm too lazy. Oh well, I'll just hope he fulfills all of Truffle's dreams when he reaches the majors.

That's pretty much how I settled on Wieters also.

[Clem Fandango]

I think Ludwick can hit 30-35 bombs, I just thought there were better options available in the group that he was in

well, look at Miss Laura, jumping out to the early lead...

[Andy]

That's the closest to the top I've been at any point in an NSBB HR Derby contest. Needless to say I doubt it lasts!

[Roast]

Stupid me and my stupid only 12 homers.

 

Stupid.

[Laura]

I'm savoring the moment!

Somehow I get worse at this every year rather than better

[ELCABALLO45]

:(

[Schwarber Fan]

Movin' on up \:D/

[Clem Fandango]

I think I'll make my first transaction of the first half.

 

I'd like to drop the now worthless David Ortiz and add Raul Ibanez, por favor

Done.

[TruffleShuffle]

ugh not the logan again

[JimSorgi]

At least I'm not in last.

[Andy]

I'd like to drop Soto and add Jay Bruce, in an effort to turn Soto's slump around.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm going to give david ortiz another week; if he doesn't get his ass in gear then he's gone.
